Hi Everyone, I thought I would give you all an update as to the stalling/kangarooing issue with my T25. Well I can start by saying it's FIXED!!!!!.......Touch wood. We have done nearly 200 trouble free miles and the van has ran beautifully throughout. The problem was related to a few issues which we...

Hi Boxy, I don't know anyone with a timing light to check the timing but your explanations are definitely helping me understand the dizzy vacuum more. Once I have sorted this choke/carb issue I will be getting the timing checked. It's just that I can't take the van to a garage to get this done at th...

Quick update.... Well I have realised why the fuel cut off solenoid didn't move in my video...Because I didn't have it grounded!!! So, I have re-tested the solenoid with it grounded and the little nib inside the tip of the solenoid moves backwards and holds there until the ignition is disengaged. No...

Thanks Kev, I will order a new fuel cut off valve. Should the nib on the end about 1cm long be moving completely in and out. I.e. should its movement be obvious because I can't see anything moving in the video?? The video I posted yesterday evening (http://youtu.be/YuH607O3gNQ" onclick="wi...

Hi all, quick update on this issue. I have also got 5 new videos to view. Here we go.... Video 1 - http://youtu.be/o8Yqh_zK0ZU" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; I removed the fuel cut off (dieseling valve) this morning and when I turned the ignition on and off three times, not...

I know everyone is focused on the idling issue but does anyone know why it starts kangarooing, its like the power disappears. These two issues appear to be connected as they both appeared at the same time. Once it does a bit of kangarooing that's it, it just cuts out.

I certainly won't rule out multiple faults. Thanks for taking the time to explain oil in dizzy situation, very good to know. The second video of choke flap is now uploaded and it does show the choke flap opening fully to a vertical position. Well I have two things to do now. Squirt oil in bottom of ...

Thanks itchyfeet. I am going to look into the timing. I can get a timing light off the popular auction website for about £20?? Not sure if this is any good. Should I check the timing with the dizzy vac hose connected and see what I get or will this be a waste of time? Also, I like to understand why ...

Right, at the request of kevtherev I have now done two new videos for you all with the top of the carb off. The first video shows it exactly as it was when I took the carb top off and how it reacts when accelerator is depressed before start up and during startup. The video continues for about 3 and ...

itchyfeet, I'm glad you like my initial post. The reason behind it was simple... I wanted to avoid a lot of standard replies people may wish to fire out and was hoping to really give you knowledgeable people an easier time. You shouldn't have to ask for basic information when I am the one that needs...

Hi Boxy, I'm afraid I don't have a strobe to check timing and really wouldn't know what to do. I have had a quick look at the wiki for that and it all seems a bit complex. With regards to vac line. If I remove it, it definitely has a severe effect on engine when running at idle. It stalls instantly.

Thanks for the quick response. Kevtherev, do you want me to video the choke flap with the top carb duct off from cold start and video it while it warms up?
Regards, Ben.

Hi everyone, this is my first post on Club 80-90 and I somehow suspect it will not be my last. In February I briefly spoke to the very knowledgeable Kevtherev (PM) who gave me some great advice on the above problem I am having, but I now need more and wanted to share my problem with the whole Club s...
